Chapter 73: Blackwood Mine
"Brother Ye, where are you going next? Are you going to the Blackwood Mine?"
After leaving Ye's house, Su Mu asked Ye Mu.
"Well, let's go take a look." Ye Mu nodded.
Hearing this, Su Mu also nodded and said: "Would you like to call more people, just in case..."
"No, there won't be any danger there. If there is any danger, it's because Uncle Yang and the others have a problem. The Blackwood Mine is so big and there are many guards in the city. Ye Liurong is not so bold to take action there."
Ye Mu said softly.
Hearing what Ye Mu said, Su Mu had no objections.
"Let's go, go take a look and then come back." Ye Mu quickened his pace and walked towards the direction of the Blackwood Mine.
Su Mu quickly followed.
…
The Blackwood Mine is one of the larger mines in Fengtian County. The existence of this mine is the source of spiritual stones. In addition to ordinary spiritual stones, other spiritual stones may be derived.
For example, this flame spirit stone.
Mines are generally under official control, and only a handful of mines are owned by certain forces. The Blackwood Mine is special. Since it was discovered by two forces at the same time, there is a dispute over the mining rights of this mine.
.
And these two forces, namely the Ye family and the Liu family, because they discovered it together, they both argued over the mining rights. Finally, under the negotiation of the city lord's palace, the two families decided to take turns mining, changing it every year, and this year
, it happened to be the Ye family’s turn.
The two companies took turns to mine the mine, which was also the source of the conflict between the two companies. Although they had agreed to take turns to mine, disputes would still arise over some trivial matters. As time went by, the contradiction between the two companies became more and more profound.
Due to disputes over resources, the two children often fought bitterly, and now the Yanling Stone vein has been discovered deep in the Blackwood Mine. Within the time under the control of the Ye family, it naturally belongs to the Ye family. However, the people of the Liu family
You may not think so.
Ye Liurong must have blocked the news as soon as he discovered the mineral vein, but there is no airtight wall in the world. How could he not know about the Liu family, who the Ye family is always paying attention to?
Ye Mu knew it well, so he didn't say much to Su Mu along the way. After running around for about half a day, he arrived at his destination.
The Blackwood Mine is located in a valley. In front of the valley, there are huge and tall black trees. Even the leaves are black, with a cold sheen on them.
Ye Mu negotiated briefly with the guards outside, then headed into the valley.
Although this area is jointly mined by two forces, due to the intermediary negotiation between the city lord's palace, they were given a share of the pie. The guards are stationed here to check both parties. If anyone mines illegally or damages the mineral veins through excessive mining, etc.
, then you have no connection with this place.
Walking into the valley, a hot and hot breath suddenly hits your face.
Ye Mu looked around, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with towering rocks, all of which were black and blue in color, emitting light like black gold. This was obsidian, which contained the evil spirit.
However, unlike the Flame Spirit Stone, this evil spirit cannot be absorbed directly, so its value is average.
In the middle of the valley, there is a large open space, like a huge square, where many people are obviously resting. On one side of the open space, close to the mountain, there are several houses made of stones.
"Brother Ye, do you want to go over and take a look?" Su Mu looked at Ye Mu who was standing there in a daze and said.
"Go over and take a look. If Uncle Yang and the others are fine, we will leave." Ye Mu said slowly.
He still had some resistance to seeing Ye Congyun again. Although he always understood that what happened was not Ye Congyun's fault, he finally compromised under the pressure of everyone.
Knowing Ye Mu's thoughts, Su Mu responded and walked over there.
As soon as Su Mu approached there, he was recognized. After all, when Ye Mu was still in the Ye family, Su Mu often ran to the Ye family. Who didn't know that Su Mu was the young master's friend.
When Su Mu appeared here, the young master was naturally not too far away. Many people looked towards where Ye Mu was. After seeing Ye Mu, joy appeared in their eyes.
When Ye Mu was in the Ye family, as the young master, he not only had excellent talents and extraordinary abilities, but also treated his servants very gently, without any airs of a young master. They were all a little puzzled by Ye Mu's departure from the clan, but they were of low status.
, there was nothing they could do, and now that they saw the young master again, they were also inexplicably surprised.
A group of people were about to go towards Ye Mu, and Ye Mu waved to them when he saw this. Everyone was a little stunned when they saw it. Even after they understood, they didn't move any further.
Seeing that they had settled down, Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. After asking, he felt relieved when he found out that Ye Congyun and the others were in the stone house, and then returned to Ye Mu.
After telling Ye Mu what he learned, Ye Mu nodded, stayed for a while, and then left with Su Mu.
Walking outside the valley, Ye Mu was about to ask about the mining situation when he heard the sound of horse hooves.
Along with the sound of horse hooves, the ground trembled and dust rose. Ye Mu looked into the distance, and with a thought in his heart, he guessed who was coming.
The moment everyone dismounted, Ye Mu saw clearly the appearance of the group. They were all familiar faces.
However, Ye Mu's eyes were fixed on the leader, because this person was none other than the head of the Liu family - Liu Wuhui!
Liu Wuhui was tall, with a somewhat weathered face and piercing eyes. He was dressed in black. The moment he saw Ye Mu, there was something on his face.
A smile emerged.
"Haha, isn't this Xiao Mu? It's been a long time since I last saw you. Recently, your reputation in Fengtian City is even more famous than us old guys." Liu Wuhui smiled broadly, walked up to Ye Mu, and patted Ye Mu with his big hands.
His shoulders looked extremely affectionate.
"Not only recently, Brother Ye's reputation in recent years has been more famous than this old guy like you, right?" Su Mu secretly thought in his heart, but he could only think about this in his mind. If he really said it, Liu Wu would probably
You can kill him directly.
"Haha, Master Liu is joking." Ye Mu smiled faintly.
Liu Wuhui was also a little embarrassed about Ye Mu's lack of salt. He retracted his hand without leaving a trace and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that Xiao Mu is no longer a member of the Ye family. It's not good for me to come so close."
Hearing this, Ye Mu felt funny in his heart, "I am a member of the Ye family and you treat me well? In the past, I was afraid that you wanted me to die."
"It doesn't matter." Ye Mu smiled lightly again.
"Haha, I forgot to ask, what did Xiao Mu come here for? Is he still thinking about going back to work for the Ye family?" Liu Wuhui had a smile in his eyes, but Ye Mu could hear a trace of it.
Threat.
"This has nothing to do with Master Liu, you'd better not delay the business." Ye Mu looked calm.
Ye Mu's words made Liu Wuhui's momentum stagnant, his face changed slightly, and then he said without saltiness or indifference: "It is a good thing for young people to be arrogant, but you must also remember that if you are too strong, you will be broken."
As his voice fell, a strong pressure suddenly radiated from his body, and Ye Mu also felt an indescribable force crushing him.
Under this power, Ye Mu's bones made strange noises, and a feeling of suffocation suddenly occurred. Just when Ye Mu couldn't help but urge Jin Lei Jian, a laugh sounded, and at the same time, that force
The pressure also recedes like a tide.
"Haha, Liu Wuhui, you are getting thicker and thicker, and you actually attack a junior."
Hearing this familiar laughter, Ye Mu also felt dazed for a moment. He immediately turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a handsome face and some gloomy and cold eyes walking over from behind, it was Ye Congyun!
Behind him were Ye Yang and a group of miners from the Ye family.
"Haha, Brother Ye was joking. His hands were itchy for a moment. Besides, with Xiao Mu's current strength, he will soon catch up with us old guys." Liu Wuhui said with a smile.
Ignoring his nonsense, Ye Congyun looked at Ye Mu, with a smile on his stern face: "Are you okay?"
Looking at Ye Congyun's appearance, Ye Mu felt mixed emotions in his heart. He didn't know what to say, so he could only squeeze out a smile, then turned his head slightly and started talking to Su Mu.
Ye Mu's appearance made Ye Congyun a little embarrassed, but the gloom in his eyes dissipated a bit.
"Haha, Brother Ye, it seems that Xiao Mu doesn't want to see you very much." Liu Wuhui squinted his eyes and smiled, and there was a hint of provocation in his words.
However, Ye Congyun turned a deaf ear to his words and said calmly: "Tell me, what do you want to do when you suddenly come to Blackwood Mine?"
Regarding Ye Congyun's straightforwardness, Liu Wuhui no longer hid it and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a vein of Yanling Stone under the Blackwood Mine."
"So?" Ye Congyun said coldly.
"The mine belongs to you and me, so naturally I want a share of the pie." Liu Wuhui chuckled.
"You also know that the mine belongs to you and me. Now my Ye family has the mining rights, so the Yanling Stone vein naturally only belongs to my Ye family. We have never interfered when you found special mineral veins before," Ye Congyun said.
"Haha, what Brother Ye said is wrong. Since it is jointly owned by two families, of course I have the right to mine. As long as you agree to the Liu family's mining, I am willing to give up one more year of mining time." Liu Wuhui said slowly.
What? Is Liu Wuhui crazy?
Given one year of mining time, how many spiritual stones would that be? Even if all the flame spiritual stones here are mined, they may not be as good as the spiritual stones mined in one year.
Everyone in the Ye family was a little surprised. Ye Mu also looked at Liu Wuhui closely. It would be strange if the other party was like this. There was no conspiracy.
When Ye Congyun heard what he said, he decisively refused and backed down: "It's impossible to mine at the same time. If you really want to mine, you can wait until the end of this year. When it's your turn, I won't mine as much as you want.
Will stop it."
"Haha, Brother Ye is really good at joking. Special spiritual stones like the Flame Spirit Stone are extremely rare, and the veins that appear are not too big. If we wait until this year's period is over, I am afraid that the Flame Spirit Stone will have been mined long ago." Liu Wu
He smiled back.
Regarding his words, Ye Congyun sneered and said: "Then please go back and don't disturb our collection."
"Oh? It seems that Brother Ye is determined not to let us drink soup." Liu Wuhui looked slightly cold and took a step forward, "What if I insist on it?"
As his voice fell, an extremely strong feeling spread from his body.
